Important Information About Your New Meter

EasyMax N blood glucose meter is designed and approved for testing fresh capillary blood from fingertip

and forearm. The meter is for outside the body (in vitro) use. It should not be used to diagnose diabetes.

Only use EasyMax N blood glucose meter with EasyMax N Blood Glucose Test Strips. Other test strips

will give inaccurate results.

Testing is not valid for neonatal blood specimen.

Do not disassemble the meter as this may cause damage to the components resulting in incorrect

reading. Disassembling the meter will also void the warranty.

Always keep the meter clean and store it in a safe place. Protect the meter from direct sunlight to ensure

a longer lifespan.

You should not store the meter and test strips in a car, a bathroom or a refrigerator.

Keep the meter, test strips and lancing device away from children and pets.

You should not test critically ill patients with home-use blood glucose meters.

Elevated levels of acetaminophen, uric acid, gentisica acid, levodopa, dopamine, ascorbic acid and

methyldopa may affect results.

Incorrect results may occur when performing the test. If you believe you are not feeling well, please

contact your healthcare professional.

Remove batteries if the meter will not be used for one month or more.

Warning for potential biohazard: Healthcare professionals using this system on multiple patients should

be aware that all products or objects that come in contact with human blood, even after cleaning, should

be handled as if capable of transmitting viral disease.

Consult with your healthcare professional before testing on your forearm.

Do not touch the strips with wet hands.

Do not use expired strips (the expiration date is shown on the bottle.)

Do not bend, cut or twist the strips.

Altitude up to 10,000 feet above sea level has no effect on readings.

Health-Related Information

If you are very dehydrated, urinating frequently, low blood pressure, shock or hyperosmolar

hyperglycemic nonketotic coma (HHNK), you may get a test result that is lower than what your blood

glucose really is. If you think you are dehydrated, call your doctor right away.

If you have followed the steps in the user’s manual, but still have symptoms that don’t seem to match

your test results, or if you have questions, please talk to your doctor.

Please read your test strip instructions carefully for additional health-related information.

Warning for potential biohazard:

Healthcare professionals using this system on multiple patients should handle all products or

objects in contact with human blood carefully to avoid transmitting viral disease, even after
